Can I use Corsair Vengence DDR3 1600 ram for it without having to overclock? the info about it isnt very specific about it without overclocking

Yes the ram will work normally, and if you want to overclock your able to do that too depends how you want your ram to work.

Ya, i have that and it goes very fast without overocking. If i did overclock it would be even faster!

You need 2 sticks minimum in order to be able to run dual-channel mode, which will significantly increase the speed. So if you buy 1 of these packs of 2 then you will be fine. As mentioned, make sure your motherboard can accept this kind of RAM(240-pin, DDR3, 1600mhz).

I am also using 8gb of ram. I have some low profile corsair vengeance (2x4gb @ 1600 mhz) and haven't had any problems with it. I only got the low profile because I didn't want to take any chances with space. Hope this helps :-)

Yes. After checking, your motherboard is capable of running 1866mhz without any overclock. So you can purchase this set of RAM and all you would have to do after installing them, is go into the BIOS and manually change the speed to 1866mhz because your motherboard will be at stock settings (1600mhz on most boards). But that is all you have to do. I have two sets of the Ares and they perform quite nice. Any other questions, feel free to ask.

The specs of the motherboard you have (ASUS Maximus VII Hero) say that from 1800 Mhz, you'll have to overclock. If you don't plan to overclock, I say that this RAM at 1600 Mhz is great.

I'm unsure. Check your "About Mac" and see if the specs line up. I do know that you won't get the 1600MHz out of this Corsair RAM...the Mac Pro doesn't support it.

Yes, but the memory will be downclocked to 1600mhz. 1333mhz depending on your CPUs memory controller.

That depends. Stock is 1600 but if the RAM will overclock you can get up to 3000 with this board. I myself bought 2400 speed Corsair and it will run the XMP profile easily with a small overclock on the processor to 4200MHz. If I go higher on the processor I have to start knocking the RAM back. If I remember correctly, my max overclock was 4400 with the RAM at 1866.

Discard my first answer, It does not support the speed 2400MHz but it will still run at 1866MHz which is still very fast but, if you need the 2400MHz then you should definitely find a different board, cause this one is not the one you want, other wise get 1866MHz ram you can go with corsair they are a fine brand, I have corsair ram in my system and I have had 0 problems.

Best bet is to E-mail Corsair and ask, they should be able to tell you right off. Most memory does work, its going to be more at what speed it will run. That depends on your processor also, so there is a few things to consider. Best answer I can give you is yes probably, but at what speed?

It should work fine, but it will be clocked down to 1333. On that board, you really don't need memory with big heatsinks like this if it's going to underclock, anyway; you might as well save yourself a little money and buy a couple of these: Kingston Value RAM 4GB 1333MHz PC3-10600 DDR3 Non-ECC CL9 DIMM SR x8 Desktop Memory (KVR13N9S8/4)

this board is rated to DDR3-2400 so you are fine... I don't know where those other answers are coming from, it will clock correctly for your CPU / Ram combo then you can OC to wherever you want.... these other answers are completely wrong... it won't crash anything... it's completely automatic and works great... jeez

I want to say yes but you need to check your manual. The laptop manual should tell you the allowed memory or you can visit corsair and ask them. If I was at a computer I would look it up for you but hope this helps.

Jarrett, What CPU do you have? You can run almost any RAM, personally I use only Corsair....currently using 2 sticks 4 GB each of the Vengeance series. CML8GX3M2A1866C9R. Hope I was able to help you

It's a 2133 Mhz DDR3 Module, the motherboard is specified to support 1600 Mhz at max. but you can overclock it t max of 2800 Mhz.The voltage is OK.But be careful because, overclocking in not garanty. I already buy DDR Module which can be overclocked but a soon as I increase the frequency and voltage, the motherboard crash !!!I would say, buy a 1600 Mhz DDR3 Module, it will cost you less than this one and you are garanty it runs !!!

Yes it is. Your motherboard supports the 1600 DDR3 speed and that's all you need. Your processor doesn't matter but your motherboard matters, in order to determine if RAM is compatible with your system.

get DDR3 ram that is dual channel. Like DDR3 at 1066 or 2000 or 1800 or 1600 or 1333mhz will all work. I believe 16GB is max. Hope this helped.
